View from Catbells to Bassenthwaite Lake

I took this one whilst climbing up Catbells on our holiday to Keswick in August last year. It's looking down the Newlands valley towards the village of Braithwaite and, beyond it, Bassenthwaite Lake. I liked the little tree with red berries in the foreground, growing on the edge of a craggy outcrop - it gave the view some scale. With hindsight, I'd rather have had a slightly shallower depth of field (and better focusing!) to make the tree stand out a bit more against the background, but I was holding the climb up so just got a quick shot!

Camera/lens settings: ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/640s, 40mm, hand held.
